Hello All,
I have decided to Journal this OG Kush from Dinafem since it's a cool story and I haven't showcased a grow in a few years. Here is the back story, I have two tents currently up and running (2x2 and 2x4) and the 2x2 I was using for Veg and Auto's so I had some freebies over the years and decided on 3 Auto's Gorilla Glue 4 Expert, Colorado Cookies DutchP, and the OGK from Dinafem. Well, it turns out this momma ISN'T an Auto and didn't flip so I just shoved her to the side while my two other actual Auto's finished up (First Indoor Cannabis Auto Grown Gorilla Glue #4) more info in <<< link. I had to top her numerous times and defoliated at least 3 times as well to keep her small and out of the way. This thing wasn't exactly neglected, but kind of forgotten and minimal feedings to keep her going. Long story short, this plants is over 3 months old already and has thick branches so I decided to SCROG her up. I'm already so invested in a SUPER long Veg time, that I figured a week or two of SCROG will clear up the 2x4 to throw the 3 new girls under the QB setup. Eventually, I'm going to replace the Mars Pro 80 Epistar light (150ish watts) with QB's all around since they just KILL it when it comes to penetration and BIG colas. Anyway, I have around 4 grows on this light and an older Mars Pro(Veg/Bloom Switch model) so I'm freerolling and not in a hurry to upgrade. Trust me, I want to upgrade the 2x2 with QB's, but it's not necessary in my current situation and these lack of penetration Mars lights are AWESOME for SCROG. The light is only good to about 14 inches of penetration and falls off dramatically there after. I have much love for the old tech, has treated my grows exceptionally well with the right technique, but it IS what IT is.
The only hiccup in the NON Auto situation is I put her in a 3gal smart pot since I was under the impression it was an Auto and the final desired size was perfect for a 2.5-3 month plant from start to finish(currently in 7gal). The soil is my own mix, which is HP Promix based and a ton of different rock dusts, organic nutrients, and High Brix influenced. I started out the blend outdoors maybe 4 or 5 years ago and have perfected the blend. It's not as hard as you would think to hit 19 outside(hit over 20 a few times) or even 16-17 inside. Anyway, I'm not here to preach on how to grow, if you have a style that works for you and is CONSISTENT, more power to you. I have smoked REC cannabis from friends that have fired up(joints and triple filtered water pipe) and it's good, looks pretty, smells great, but honestly, it just doesn't have the punch that I'm used to with my HB outdoor, OR indoor, doesn't matter. Also, if your not washing your BUDS, you are missing out. I find that some dank you can tell it's not washed, and others it's minimal. I know for a fact that my circle of friends always say my Cannabis is "Clean". They all notice the difference when it's not scrubbed. This is nothing new and I didn't invent washing your fruits and or flowers, but trust me, it's an extra step worth taking when you chop down. Don't confuse washing flowers with boiling ROOT balls or some weird hocus pocus nonsense, it's for real and makes a HUGE difference.
Anyway, too many Rosin Hits this morning and I'm a babbling brook. So yesterday I built a wood SCROG net with materials laying around the house since I'm trying to be good and not go out too often. It was kind of a PITA finding stuff that will work, but also rewarding when you think out of the box and make it happen and it all comes together. The OGK momma is just starting to look healthy and vigorous again. I'm really excited since I just ran out of my old Kosher Kush plant and haven't had that Kushness lately. I figure, OGK and soon after MasterK from DutchP and I'm back happy with a couple kush varietes. Here are a few pictures of 1 day after SCROG net was set in place. Not easy to put in with an overgrown plant, but it worked and it's DONE. Enjoy! Keep It Green.
I have two GDP babies and 1 MasterK below the net and waiting for the 2x4 to finish up. They are 3 weeks old tomorrow(they grow up SO fast).
